SINKING CREEK ALTERNATE ROUTE 3

A scenic, secluded rural loop with low traffic. Lots of farming along “backroad” SR 624. The ride first follows upstream along Sinking Creek, a tributary of the New River that eventually reaches the Gulf of Mexico. After passing the head waters of Sinking Creek, the ride continues over the continental divide into the head waters of Meadow Creek which flows into Craig Creek, then the James River and finally into the Atlantic Ocean.

Starting Point: Newport town park baseball field located on SR 42, 1.3 miles east of junction with US 460.
